**Already Gone** · 04-03-2007, 06:11 PM

Real nice truck> In the first couple of pics ou just gotta luv that gun rack in the rear window, itas just like the one I had here in the 70's, Being you are in Texas it's probably still legal there to ride around with guns ( I would assume unloaded of course) on the rack in your back window?

Actually yes, Texas law states that you can transport loaded rifles and shotguns in vehicles. They may be carried in plain view anywhere in the vehicle or secured in a commercial gun case or gun rack. FYI, I did keep the gun rack just in case I decide to put it back in.

Eddie H. · 04-03-2007, 06:39 PM

That's slicker'n snot on a glass doorknob. I thought Gun racks were standard equipment on all Texas trucks back in 69. I'm not too far north of you, ( In the D/FW area) Why don't you bring it to some of the local car shows around here? I'd like to see it in person sometime.

I'm only about 15 miles east of you in the big city of Ben Wheeler.

I've got a '69 LWB of my own, had it about 6 months now and love it. Your truck turned out real nice. Who did the paint?? I owned a '71 in High school and have come full circle, I really wanted another '71 but couldn't pass up the deal on the '69. Still needs a good bit of TLC, but I'll Git R done!

fourty1 · 04-03-2007, 06:44 PM

In your first picture you have a young woman "checking out your ride "...

Thanks Mike. My P&B man removed the locks and then used a special aluminum primer and then painted them to match. I was reluctantly contemplating just shaving them and just cutting some doors on the inside of the bed, but I saw a truck on ebay that someone had repainted and I just happened to notice that the fuel doors were painted to match the truck and other than the lock I thought it was fairly unoticeable. I'm Pleased the way they turned out.

**Palf70Step** · 04-03-2007, 09:51 PM

That dude cleaned up real nice. Beautiful Job!!

RANDY COX · 04-03-2007, 09:56 PM
